I have a SBS 2003 server and I'm trying to migrate to a SBS 2011.<br />
During the migration the Event 13508 pops up.<br />
<br />
I have found that the junctions points are missing after running frsdiag.<br />
Also I found that the folder in the %systemroot%\sysvol\stagin<wbr />g areas\ is a different name to the domain name.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
